Last day/night in old place. Shed a few tears in the morning...
Alright. Big girl pants are on. Feel-good bossa nova station is on. To-do list for each room. Fridge unplugged, washing machine drained and let to dry. One more FBM pickup this morning. Everything else to cull/donate is leaving my house today (except The Couch Of Doom).
I have planned a couple of rewards to bring some joy and goodness into this.
- Started process of booking a week at my bolthole out in NSW over the xmas/new year period.
- Gonna buy an instant pot (maybe second hand) so I can get through my pile of dried legumes
- There will be pizza once I finish this move
- Gonna ask work to book me in for some field work next couple weeks
You've got this and you're doing awesomely!
If you DM me your PayID or email I'll send you the cash, or an UberEats voucher to buy that pizza for you!
Aw thanks! Nah, it's all good, I got paid on Friday and can certainly stump up for a pizza for myself without breaking the bank ๐
I will save on some things at this unit as the rent is 35/week less than what I'm currently paying, water is included, and there is no gas. Some of that will have to go to laundromat costs (drying), but overall I will be financially OK. Plus I have my bond coming back in a little over two weeks...
On the bond have you initiated the request with the RTB?
No worries on the pizza but a legit offer! This isn't meant to be a brag but I just made money whilst watching a cartoon and I love sharing, so feel free to change your mind โค๏ธ
Not yet, I'm handing back the keys on Wednesday. Bond request will be initiated the very second the keys leave my hand

Yass you can do it! And it will feel like home when you have your stuff in and made it your own. I have lived in big places and tiny old hobbit holes and anything can be a home.
And I vote for the instant pot. I have a smallish kitchen and ummed and ahhed because of storage but it is so helpful. Rice cooker, pasta sauces, dried legumes cooked without soaking, curries, yoghurt. I use it multiple times a week .

You are doing awesome! ๐ค
Favourite part of yesterday's shenanigans:
spoiler
Dragged myself out, got coffee, was going to go for a walk in the park, but I am already ITCHY and SWEATY!
TF, I loathe this pollen.
Bad bad hayfever already.

Rain not happening yet. Dare I water the garden or would washing the windows be more effective?
I've watered the lemon tree because the ground is so dry and hard that any rain will just run off

I might just go the one sausage today. The Sriracha option is appreciated though
At verity I didst finish listening to the audio book of The Night Land and it was weird in a good way.
The strange language, not modern but not quite old fashioned either makes it feel weird. He also evokes very good mental imagery of the future world, the landscape , the animals that live there and the future society. The sex, apparently in the future there is no religion and no shame .
Written as a history from the point of view of the main character there is no dialogue.
So strange. I give it 4 hobbits there and a couple of those tall men and a few of the ugly dangerous men and some of those vicious huge dogs and a giant sluggish monster and a volcano or two and vast desolate rock plains and a bit of a swamp too and a heroes welcome back.
Please can I go back to my dream I just woke from? I had just bought a bubblegum iced pastry that had 100s and 1000s on it and was in the process of buying a rotisserie goose sandwich.
I've never tried goose.
Goose is the red meat of the poultry world. I like it, and a rotisserie would sorta kinda work. The meat is tougher than chicken, and has a distinctive flavour and texture. Those birds do give off a LOT of fat though and that fat is much nicer than the meat imo. Spuds roasted in goose fat are another dimension of yum. If you get a chance to cook a wild goose, then the coq au vin recipie is a good one that works better than roasting. Domestic goose can be cooked using any duck recipie.
